The original recipe for Gianduja comes from Italy. When British ships were blockading Italian ports in the 1880s, getting cocoa became more difficult. To make the cocoa go further, Italian chocolatiers began to mix it with ground hazelnuts. Most of this was done with milk chocolate. I began to find recipes for dark chocolate gianduja, and couldn't find it readily accessible to me for purchase. So I decided to try to make it myself. Then someone came back from Australia and mentioned that blending chocolates was all the rage. So was created this Gianduja - a blending of dark and milk chocolate with home made hazelnut paste.
